2068. DEBT (United States), Prosperity and.—
We are ruined if we do not overrule
the principles that “the more we owe, the
more prosperous we shall be”; “that a public
debt furnishes the means of enterprise”;
“that if ours should be once paid off, we
should incur another by any means however
extravagant.”—
To James Monroe.
Ford ed., v, 320.
(Pa.,
1791)
